Heck, the set really doesn't impress me much. I DO like the Tudor walls, and
would love to be able to buy the straight and corner ones separately in bulk, so I
could build decent-sized buildings. I DO like the hanging sign. I LOVE the blue
chalice (so if anyone parts any out...). Beyond that, there's not much there to
excite me.
But I WILL be buying 1-2 for display, and probably a few more for parts.
I can't wait to see what else is brought out, especially TOWN. That's got to be a
heated argument if the set hasn't been decided. PLEASE, not Police/Fire
stations! While I'd love the garage doors, if you're going to go for a garage
door set, think 6369, 6383 (oh yeah!), 6391 or 6597.

| Argh! It's showing on the site now, but I can't backorder it! I know, I know, it's only a matter of time, they obviously use several different databases for the shopping experience.

| I too am happy about the Legends series. It is great that LD is making so many people happy. But I still want expanded Bulk Orders. Some clear bricks and 2x2 windows (blue, yellow) would be nice, as well as some macaroni bricks in many colors. Ditto (...) (23 years ago, 8-Jun-01, to lugnet.lego.direct)
